2007 Quixtar Sales Announced…

mLive:

Sales at Quixtar, its direct-selling arm in the United States, fell
slightly but still topped $1 billion for the fifth consecutive year,
according to the company.

Quixtar faced a major revolt among its distribution base in 2007 as
the company tried to reform business practices and weed out
distributors the company said would not agree to its new terms. The
dust-up resulted in lawsuits and the resignation of more than 15,000
distributors.

Alticor reiterated its plan to do away with the Quixtar name, saying
it would transition back to using the Amway brand by the end of 2009.

The company said 70 percent of its Amway affiliate markets — 39 of
55 — posted sales increases during 2007. Alticor said such growth
shows it can grow in established as well as emerging markets.

The company said sales were robust in Asia, especially China, where
the government has settled regulatory uncertainties and Amway sells
through 180 retail stores.
